The love language we don’t talk about.

It’s the quiet act of someone choosing to work on themselves.

Not just for their own sake, but for the health of the relationship.

It’s easy to say “That’s just how I am,” and expect others to accept our flaws and triggers as unchangeable parts of us.

But real love ..... deep, mature love, looks different.

It’s someone who recognizes their wounds and patterns, and instead of making them your burden, takes responsibility for their healing.

It’s the partner who notices when their words cut too deep, or when old habits threaten new happiness, and chooses to do the work to grow.

You deserve someone who doesn’t expect you to simply tolerate the parts of them that hurt you.

You deserve someone who sees the impact of their actions and is willing to change, not because you demand it, but because they care about your peace, your safety, and your heart.

Love isn’t just about grand gestures or sweet words.

Sometimes, it’s about accountability.

It’s about someone who looks at their own reflection and says, “I want to be better for me, for you, for us.”

That’s the kind of love that builds trust, deepens connection, and heals old wounds.

Always remember .... you are worthy of a love that grows.

Of a partner who chooses healing over excuses, effort over complacency.

Don’t settle for less than someone who’s willing to do the work, because that’s a love language that will last a lifetime.

Easier said than done, but as an approach…is a good start. 🖤🤍

A Wise Man was talking to a young boy and said, “There are two wolves always fighting inside me.
One is filled with anger, hate, jealousy, shame and lies.
The other wolf is filled with love, joy, truth and peace...This battle rages inside of you and all men.”
The young boy thought for a moment and asked
“Which wolf will win?”

The Wise Man answered;
“The one you feed”

We were born with lots of emotions and it’s natural and healthy to feel them all.
The lows; they can be an indication that something that we are affected by isn’t right, or ok. This could be our current job, relationship, a loss and so many other reasons. Imagine not having sadness….how would we make changes? And how would we grieve?
Fear; this can keep us safe…imagine a fearless world.
Anger; anger speaks of injustice, disrespect, protection…imagine a world without defence.
Then of course there are the feel good feelings; happiness, joy, excitement, surprise…the glimmers, also an indication for us to know that things are good and that we are ok.

Our feelings are on a spectrum, and depending on our life journey, and early experiences, sometimes some of these unhappy feelings can be dialled further up the spectrum. This can cause issues. The indication can become an alarm. Fear and anxiety are not the same. Anxiety can grow due to past experience where we needed and felt the fear. Anxiety can be an inaccurate predication based on our history. It can be debilitating. Working out the difference can help deal with and cope with it. Understanding triggers around anxiety can help us to regulate our nervous systems. Self-awareness and understanding forms a better relationship with ourselves, and with this comes healing. 💫

No ‘New Year’s resolutions’, just love!💖

The end of 2024 is near.

A time where we reflect on the good but can also bring up regrets, criticism and disappointment within ourselves.

Our negative perception of how our life hasn’t been good enough over the past 12 months means we set unrealistic expectations for the year ahead.

Maybe, if our only goal is to love ourselves a little bit more, with this being an approach or attitude, rather than a feeling…more like a duty of care, then perhaps we can naturally achieve a little more and be happier.

We always want what’s best for the ones we love ✨🥰💫

‘When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently.

Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning.
Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in. And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness.

We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong.

You are not broken; you are breaking through.’

‘Crying’

A subject that often comes up with clients.

A reaction to push down the sadness, prevent and conceal the tears. This is a trauma response, a defence…the source…so many reasons, and unique to each person.

We were born crying, we were meant to cry. There was no shame in crying when we came into this world…somewhere along our timeline we may have learnt that we shouldn’t cry.

But, let me tell you, crying is survival. An instinct we were born with. There is a strength in it. It’s healing. A natural way to release emotion in our bodies. When we cry, cortisol (stress hormone) leaves our bodies in our tears…oxytocin (love hormone) is released into our system. Our bodies are so clever in taking care of us. It knows exactly what we need.

If crying isn’t easy…find a sad song, a movie or something to help encourage some tears…re-connect to yourself.
